This course examines religious beliefs, practices and ways of life that have come to be labeled “fundamentalist.” The course attends in particular to their emergence in the modern world and the ways in which they critically engage secular convictions about morality, aesthetics and epistemology. The focus of the course is on Protestant fundamentalism and the Islamic Revival, but, depending on student interest, the class may also consider “ultra-orthodox” Judaism or Hindu nationalism. Prerequisite: One of the following: ANTH:162, ANTH:220, SOCI:101, SOCI:102, a 100-level religion course or instructor's permission. Same as ANTH:360. 4 SH. CC: Diversity Intensive, Social Interactions, Writing Intensive.
